Freelance writing could be your ticket to a new career. This training can get you ready

TLDR: The 2021 Become a Freelance Writer Bootcamp Bundle is your step-by-step guide to building a lucrative and thriving career as a work-for-hire writer.

Over the past two years, the rest of the world has caught up to a fact that freelance writers have known for a long time. Working remotely — and often on your own timeline — is a pretty great job perk.

Of course, for all that independence and freedom, there are some trade-offs. Like 30 percent of freelance writers make under $10 an hour during their first year. Considering that’s not a living wage, that means a freelancer has two major objectives if they want to make life as their own boss really work. They need to be good — and they need to get hired. Fast.

The 2021 Become a Freelance Writer Bootcamp Bundle ($29.99, over 90 percent off, from TNW Deals) can help define your new career as a freelancer, outlining concrete steps for producing killer copy, soliciting work, and even how to effectively manage an occasionally difficult employee: yourself.

This collection features 14 courses with more than 30 hours of training in everything that it takes for a writer with some talent and drive to turn those skills into a legitimate career.

Courses like The Complete Freelance Writing Course and Secrets of a Freelance Writer offer a stable starting point for any new writer, including critical training for turning a gift for words into a true self-sustaining profession. Along with training keyed to sharpening your ability to write in a variety of styles as well as self-edit, these introductory courses also expand on an area where a writer may not feel as comfortable, promoting themselves to help generate business. There’s also a full walkthrough in putting together a portfolio that not only attracts attention, but clients.

But finishing the job is only half the battle for any freelancer. Often, the most difficult hurdles are the pathways to finishing that job. So this collection also includes training in the mental aspect of freelancing, covering topics like staying motivated, proper scheduling, cultivating a positive approach toward the work, and more to give yourself the right attitude to succeed.

Finally, the package closes with practical tactics as well, featuring the steps to get working as a professional proofreader, the 7 most successful methods for becoming a paid freelancer, and even the 10 exercises a writer should do each day to produce their best writing.

The coursework in The 2021 Become a Freelance Writer Bootcamp Bundle would typically cost almost $2,800, but right now, the entire package is available for less than $3 per course at just $29.99.
